At the Feet of Fatima

At the Feet of Fatima
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1

bravery holding hard to faith
is inherited in a shia mothers womb
lion cubs of sher e ali in full bloom
hussainiyat soul enrichening perfume
stains of flowing blood on their black costume
its moharam ashura you dont need to assume
ya hussain a chant of our freedom from yazidiyat
from the cradle to the tomb..
after our deaths this chant
our children will resume

continued
the shia dude
his attitude
his zenitude
tears blood and sweat
at the feet of fatima
as gratitude
with tabarrah we conclude
lanat on the killers of hussain
a death wish as a necessitude
